New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Art of Amputation unveil AA side 'Californian English', a stunning, synth driven masterpiece and the perfect accompaniment to the intricately layered and uplifting melody of 'Distorted Pop Song'.
Freddy de Lord (Keyboards, Vocals and Saxophone), Hugh Fox (Drums, Drum-Loops/Programming and Percussion), Allan Harrod (Vocals, Guitar and Keyboards), Mark Hyden (Guitars and Vocals) and newly added member Tim Harrod (Vocals and Percussion) each have an input into the band's collaborative writing songwriting sessions which stem from Allan's keen ear for melody. Teaming with producer Steve Honest in Hackney Road Studios ensured the creative process progressed seamlessly, with sessions resulting in these two impressive and hughly polished tracks.
The London based five-piece combine soaring melodies with experimental sounds and big fuzzy guitars to create soundscapes they claim will "hold your hand in dark times."

Reviews of 'Distorted Pop Song':
"What's instantly striking about the song is how beautifully put together it all feels - that every note, beat, vocal and space has been carefully placed in the most baroque and complex manner. It absolutely feels like a labour of love; the elements all coalesce to present something quite stunning - a pleasing barrage of fuzzy guitar, compulsive percussion and intoxicating riffs all competing yet seamlessly co-existing." - My Fizzy Pop
